Northern Star Financial, Inc. (OTCBB: NSBK) today announced results
for the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Star Bank
for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
Northern Star Financial, Inc., the parent company of Northern
Star Bank, reported a net loss of $166,929 (a basic loss of $0.18
per share) in the second quarter ended December 31, 2008 compared
with a net loss of $101,430 (a basic loss of $0.12 per share)
during the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company
reported a basic loss per share of $0.31 for the six month period
ended December 31, 2008 compared with a basic loss per share of
$0.28 during the same six month period of the prior fiscal
year.
The Company's total assets increased $1.22 million to $56.57
million at the end of the second quarter from $55.35 million at
fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Total deposits for the second
quarter ended December 31, 2008 increased $0.99 million to $40.58
million from $39.59 million at fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.
Loan receivables net of an allowance for loan losses increased by
$0.78 million over the prior fiscal year end.
When comparing the Company's operating results for the first six
months of fiscal year 2009 with the results of operations during
the same period of the prior fiscal year, President Stienessen
said, "Capital constraints and increased competition for lower
levels of deposit and lending activity prevented the bank from
experiencing erosion in its net interest margin." Stienessen noted
that decreases in compensation and employee benefit cost coupled
with increases in non-interest income were insufficient to offset
increases in non-interest expenses resulting from the
implementation of remote deposit capture services during the second
quarter." Stienessen reported that the Company was conducting an
evaluation of its strategic plan which he expected to be completed
in early June.
The Company operates as a bank holding company whose subsidiary
provides financial services. Northern Star Bank's business is that
of a financial intermediary and consists primarily of attracting
deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together
with borrowings and other funds, to make secured and unsecured
loans to business and professional concerns and mortgage loans
secured by residential real estate and other consumer loans. The
Bank operates two full-service offices that are located in Mankato
and St. Cloud, Minnesota.
